This is partially true -- at least with HP DL servers, and I imagine with others, when CPU and DISK loads reach high enough levels, it will adjust the fans and such accordingly to compensate for the extra heat generated. CPU will draw more power at high load, and hence generate more heat, as will a hard disk under heavy activity.However, under normal circumstances this should all be within the tolerances for that box. In your case it sounds like bad ventilation or maybe fan failure, because traffic shaping should be pretty much entirely a CPU/NIC/IO affair and an easy-going one at that. katsu On Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 1:01 PM, <m.roth2006@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Jason, > >>Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 09:00:49 -0400 >>From: "Jason Staudenmayer" <jasons@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >> >>I have an odd situation, I was running a small RH box just for traffic shaping and the HD fried (super hot when I opened the box). >>I was wondering it there was really any HD load for shaping or was this just a coincidence. > > Coincidence.
